Master Kierkegaard

Exploring the life of Magda, a German maidservant, this volume delves into her evolving relationship with Scripture and literature amid the complexities of her master, Kierkegaard. Set against the backdrop of 1847 and 1848, the three journals capture Magda’s precarious existence within the household and the shifting social dynamics of the time, coinciding with Kierkegaard's development of his profound existential writings. The narrative intertwines personal struggle with broader societal changes, enriching the historical context.
